Hungarian was my first language but I haven’t had to use it much over the past 15-20 years. When I read English I move pretty quickly because there’s no mental step between “see word” and “recognize meaning/context,” but I find myself “reading out loud on mute” I Hungarian now, if that makes sense. So, getting my reading performance up to what it is for English is the challenge.

LOTR : Fellowship in Hungarian. It’s a nice challenge.

Exactly the correct approach. Similar thing happened to one of my friends a couple years back with Nord. This sort of “leak” could happen with any other VPN provider; not binding the interface is just rolling the dice.

I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.

There’s a room to store your mech right next to the washer/dryer. Are we turning away from a future of Gundam battles by rejecting this design?

The recent BIOS updates for some of these Precisions and Latitudes have really tested the patience of my team…yeah, reading literally anything on the screen is apparently a lost art.

The most corporate of corporate ways is to say that what the other party is saying doesn’t align with your experience/observations. In specific circumstances, though, you can (and should) challenge it as bluntly as possible.

Example…person A says “My local users have been running their Dell Precision 7780 laptops with 65W power bricks and no performance impact.” Person B says “that’s not possible, they’re equipped with i9 CPUs, RTX 5000 GPUs, and come with 200W power bricks.”

Example: A says “I asked you for this load balancer configuration a month ago and you never did it. I’m copying our managers so they can see that you’re the one holding up the process.” Person B says “I told you via your service ticket that it was done within a couple hours and requested feedback. Here’s a screenshot of the ticket’s chat log, which explicitly says that it’s done and you need to add the DNS entry to make it work. Here’s a timestamped screenshot of my command line showing that you haven’t done that. Here’s a screenshot of my /etc/hosts file and browser showing what it looks like when the DNS entry is correct. This whole thing could have been handled with a 3-line Teams chat, no need to escalate.”
